About SIGg
Smart Innovations Grid Ltd, otherwise known as SIG, is a company whose product portfolio includes a
product known as ‘SIGg’. SIGg is a GPRS based micro energy monitoring system which, when attached
to a utility meter, can provide vital statistical information on energy consumed or generated.
The brand name ‘g’ denotes the product type as a GPRS unit.
Configuration
The SIGg product has a default configuration which enables it to operate around the world. Further
configuration can be remotely configured from the dedicated data hosting server using the config Tool.
SIGg Features
User Interface
The user has access to the following:
Input(s) CH1, CH2, CH3, 0V, RS485 (A), RS485 (B), LIVE, Neutral – connections
Commission button
LED ‘p’ – Power Status LED
LED ‘c’ – Communication Status LED
LED ‘d’ – Data Status LED
If LED ‘p’ , ‘c’, and ‘d’ are RED in colour then the unit is in commissioning mode triggered by the test.

Electrical Interface
One interface is available for the user to only commission the unit by pressing the inset button on the
front face.
Technical Information:
Mains Power, AC MAINS 90 – 240 AC @ 0.15A
Internal Temperature Sensor, -30 to +85

Internal battery backed up real time clock
The default unit has only configuration to read 18 IME, 5 RAIL350, 5 RD-19 & 4 Pro Digital meters, please refer to manufacturer
for other meter versions.
Commission Button
The commission button is on the lower part of the front face, using a small screwdriver or pen nib, press
and hold button down for 5 seconds until all 3 LEDs on the front face turn red. Quickly release the
button and wait for the commission sequence to complete. If the unit is already commissioned then
the unit will only connect to the server and check for any updates and upload current data logs, if any.
In this mode the unit shall read all active meters and send data via GPRS to the remote server before
entering sleep mode.
If the unit is already commissioned then by pressing the
commission button for 1 second and releasing will show
the last LED colour state, this LED state can be used to
reference the state of the SIGg.
Installation / Safety
The SIGg unit must be installed by a qualified electrician within a fixed consumer unit with a minimum
IP rating of IP20 and suitable protected entry and exit points. An overload protection / supply
disconnect device must not exceed 6 Amps.
All connections to the SIGg need to be fully tight and cable needs to be tugged with small pressure to
make sure no loose connections can occur.
The SIGg must be fitted in the text readable format with A, B, L & N facing downwards. Fitting in this
orientation will stop any cable becoming loose and then re-inserting itself to power SIGg up or
interconnect A,B into L,N or vice versa, this is a fail-safe-install state.
If an external antenna SIGg is used then the exit point of the antenna must be suitably chosen and
isolated using typical 16 or 20mm gland, part numbers TE 16MM GREY (Farnell 1174593), TE 20MM
GREY (Farnell 1174594) respectively.
The SIGg can operate between 89 and 250V AC with a tolerance of +6 and -10% (80 – 265V).
The SIGg is designed to operate within a fixed temperature range, temperature exceeding 100
o
